westwind's Journal

Well, the relatives burned rubber out of here about an hour and a half ago and the sense of calm, freedom and tranquilty has returned and it feels wonderful. I did notice my cousin making an extreme effort to be nicer and even the wicked witch of the south tried not to hold me up to too much disdain and hatred. She even had a visible sense of humor at times which I thought was gone from good, but only gone from my presence.

So Zeus and I have the place to ourselves for the rest of the day and night until tomorrow AM when the various crews come to continue working on the endless remodling job. But the sense of calm is well received and valued and appreciated.

They will be back in three weeks in hopes of stimulating the crews to get the house done once and for all, but that remains to be seen, it's a never ending process with high hopes of ending before the end of the year. Not going to hold my breath on that.
